"Our software is designed to have a transformative effect and drive value for our customers, but this can only be achieved if the platform is adopted," said Dan Zitting, Chief Product Officer, ACL. "Our Fall 2015 release offers more meaningful, interactive content that enhances ACL customers' experience across our full GRC platform, greatly accelerating their ability to become productive and bring value to their own unique risk environment."

ACL remedies the traditionally painful experience of working with GRC software through a focus on exceptional design and user experience. In the Fall 2015 release, more than 500 related improvements were made to the ACL™ GRC platform, including:

Advanced Data Analytics Data-driven analytics will often uncover transactions that may indicate material risk, but need to be reviewed by professionals to determine whether they are valid business transactions, exceed thresholds, contravene policy, indicate fraud, or risk regulatory non-compliance.

"We're looking at 16 different types of risk that go from strategic risk, credit liquidity and market risk, through a number of operational risks. And then, of course, reputational risk, which is ever so important these days," notes Kevin Moylan, Corporate Vice President, Strategic Risk Officer at Cathay Bank. "ACL is evolving the platform in a way that is valuable to us. Being able to create projects in the system, to send surveys out to people, to have them then provide attestation back to us is really vitally important."
